STR listings must include the notice that quiet hours are observed between 9:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. and that no outdoor amplified sound is allowed at any time. This is stricter than the citywide §8.13 nighttime rule.
Outdoor amplified music — speakers, sound systems, DJs — is banned for the entire 24-hour period at any registered STR. Quiet hours are 9 p.m. to 8 a.m., one hour earlier than the general §8.13.040 nighttime trigger. The host or designated local contact must respond to any complaint within 30 minutes and correct the issue within 45 minutes. Failure to respond is itself a strike under the three-strikes policy.
Verified noise complaints count toward the three-strikes-in-24-months threshold that triggers loss of registration. Police calls are also subject to §8.13 fines on the bail schedule.
